Indoor Activities; Recording A Strength Training Activity - Garmin INSTINCT 2X Owner's Manual

Indoor Activities

The watch can be used for training indoors, such as running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike or
indoor trainer. GPS is turned off for indoor activities
When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed and distance are calculated using the accelerometer in the
watch. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed and distance data improves after a few
outdoor runs or walks using GPS.
TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance data are not available unless you have an optional sensor
that sends speed and distance data to the watch, such as a speed or cadence sensor.
